A 39-year-old man who was returning from the Amazon Jungle and had no medical history presented with a furuncular lesion on his right parietal scalp. Despite receiving appropriate antimicrobial treatment, his lesion did not heal. After surgical intervention, a Dermatobia hominis larva was extracted. The human botfly D. hominis is the most common causative agent of furuncular myiasis among travelers returning from Central and South America. Surgery is the main treatment option, and secondary bacterial infection should be kept in mind.
一名39岁男子从亚马逊丛林归来,无既往病史,右侧顶叶头皮出现疖肿样病变。尽管接受了适当的抗菌治疗,但其病变仍未愈合。手术干预后,取出了一只人皮蝇幼虫。人皮蝇是从中南美洲归来的旅行者中疖肿性蝇蛆病最常见的病原体。手术是主要的治疗选择,应注意继发性细菌感染。
